As for Hollywood - guy got hurt who seems to always get hurt. Health is a skill, Hollywood's never had it. Ultimately any single injury can be a fluke but he has a history of them.
2018 -- Significant injury in college (foot)
2019 -- Ankle injury -- missed 2 games
2020 -- off-season surgery, was 'limited' in a couple of games; fairly healthy
2021 -- Missed a game due to a soft tissue injury; limited in others.
2022 -- Soft tissue injury early; IR for foot fracture late
2023 -- Dealt with a heel injury all year; limited most of the season and missed 3 games (pulled from two others).
He's just not an iron horse fellas. Is what it is.
But yeah, there was nothing to suggest at some point our All-World QB would throw a stupid interception then recklessly hurl his body into our WR1 who's trying to strip the football after the pick.
THAT one is fluky as hell. No two ways about that.

But this idea that we should've known Hollywood wouldn't be available is blowing that injury history way out of proportion. This unlucky shit is by far the worst he'd had, and it was clearly not the type of injury that has anything to do with being injury prone.
